Hi Fabio,

LyX needs to be compiled with spellchecker support enabled (I assume
this requires the devel libraries to link against). If you are
compiling with CMake, try
-DLYX_HUNSPELL=ON -DLYX_ENCHANT=ON
for both Hunspell and Enchant.

Hi Fabio,

It was incorrect for me to say that you have to explicitly enable the
spellchecking libraries. My guess now is that you are missing the
development libraries to link against (e.g. on Ubuntu you need
libhunspell-dev installed).

Hi Fabio, please respond to the list.

Looks like you're using autotools, which I don't know much about (but
which is more common so people on the list will know).
Maybe the problem is you have to specify the path to the hunspell

You should not need to add anything to the make commend line.

Hi Jean Marc. There seem to be no additional flags required.
Configuration
  Host type:i686-pc-linux-gnu
  Special build flags:  build=release use-hunspell
  C++ Compiler: g++ (4.4.7)
  C++ Compiler LyX flags:
  C++ Compiler flags:-O2
  Linker flags:
  Linker user flags:
  Qt 4 Frontend:
  Qt 4 version:4.6.2
  Packaging:posix
  LyX binary dir:   /usr/local/bin
  LyX files dir:/usr/local/share/lyx

In fact I tested it right now in another virtual machine.
Lyx 2.1.1 installs correctly with access to hunspell without any further 
configuration, while Lyx 2.1 doesn't.

Should I go forward? Thank you for your understanding.

 I'm having a problem with the spell-checker. I'm running a computer with

 The strange thing is that not only a spell-checker was already installed

 updating hunspell to the latest version with all the available dictionaries
 installed.
 Anyone else had this problem?

Hi Fabio,

LyX needs to be compiled with spellchecker support enabled (I assume
this requires the devel libraries to link against). If you are
compiling with CMake, try
-DLYX_HUNSPELL=ON -DLYX_ENCHANT=ON
for both Hunspell and Enchant.

Best,

Hi Fabio,

It was incorrect for me to say that you have to explicitly enable the
spellchecking libraries. My guess now is that you are missing the
development libraries to link against (e.g. on Ubuntu you need
libhunspell-dev installed).

Hi Fabio, please respond to the list.

Looks like you're using autotools, which I don't know much about (but
which is more common so people on the list will know).
Maybe the problem is you have to specify the path to the hunspell
